Product SKU: QNO-C8013R
Product Overview
Wide-area outdoor monitoring across a car park, forecourt, or building entry is exactly what the Hanwha QNO-C8013R is engineered for. This compact 5 MP network bullet camera is fitted with a fixed 2.8 mm lens that delivers a horizontal field of view of approximately 103 degrees, allowing a single camera to cover broad open scenes that a narrower lens would need two cameras to match. Featuring a 1/2.8-inch progressive-scan CMOS sensor, it captures 2592 x 1944 resolution footage at up to 30 fps with integrated IR illumination reaching up to 30 metres. Built with Hanwha’s AI-based object analytics, the QNO-C8013R classifies people and vehicles, identifies colour attributes, and filters out environmental triggers such as moving foliage or animals. Its aluminium bullet housing is rated IP66 for weatherproofing and IK10 for impact resistance, making it suitable for exposed outdoor positions. WiseStream III compression and a microSD edge recording slot up to 256 GB round out its capabilities for professional deployment.
Key Capabilities
103-Degree Wide-Angle Coverage
The fixed 2.8 mm lens delivers a 103-degree horizontal field of view, giving a single camera the coverage span needed for open forecourts, wide entrances, and car park bays without requiring multiple camera positions to eliminate blind spots.
AI Object Classification and Filtering
Hanwha’s on-board AI distinguishes people from vehicles and identifies colour attributes, while filtering out irrelevant motion such as trees and animals. This reduces unnecessary alerts and makes post-event searching significantly faster during investigations.
30-Metre IR Night Vision
Built-in IR LEDs provide illumination to 30 metres in complete darkness, with a minimum illumination of 0.005 lux in black-and-white mode. The camera maintains scene coverage across outdoor approaches and loading areas through the night without auxiliary lighting.
120 dB WDR with WiseNR II
A 120 dB Wide Dynamic Range handles high-contrast outdoor scenes, such as a sunlit shopfront entrance or a bay door with strong backlight. WiseNR II noise reduction keeps images clean at low light levels without smearing or artefacts.
WiseStream III Compression and Edge Recording
WiseStream III dynamically adjusts bitrate to reduce bandwidth and storage demand without sacrificing image quality. The onboard microSD slot supports up to 256 GB, providing continuous local recording as a fallback if network connectivity is interrupted.
Best For
- Car Parks and Forecourts: The 103-degree horizontal FOV lets a single camera monitor multiple parking bays or a wide vehicle approach lane, with AI vehicle classification confirming movement without false alerts from wind or light changes.
- Building Entrances and Shopfronts: Covers wide doorways and façades from a single wall or soffit mount, with 120 dB WDR handling the contrast between bright outdoor light and shaded entry zones.
- Warehouses and Loading Bays: The IP66 and IK10 ratings handle industrial outdoor exposure, while AI analytics can be configured to detect intrusion or loitering within defined zones at the perimeter of the facility.
- Sites Requiring Local Backup Recording: The 256 GB microSD edge storage slot provides continuous onboard recording, keeping footage available locally even during NVR or network outages.
Why Choose the QNO-C8013R
The QNO-C8013R stands apart from basic 5 MP bullet cameras through its combination of a genuinely wide 103-degree field of view, on-board AI classification, and the WiseStream III codec in a compact, IK10-rated aluminium housing. A standard bullet at this price point typically offers motion detection only, whereas the QNO-C8013R classifies object types and identifies colour attributes, giving operators far more actionable data from each camera position. The 120 dB WDR is particularly effective at outdoor locations where the camera faces varied lighting throughout the day. Edge recording to 256 GB microSD adds a layer of redundancy that simpler cameras cannot offer without additional hardware. Available at Security Wholesalers, the QNO-C8013R is a practical choice for installers who need broad outdoor coverage with AI analytics in a single, straightforward-to-deploy unit.
Buyer Decision Tips
Lens Choice – 2.8 mm vs 4 mm: The 2.8 mm lens on this model is the right choice when you need to cover a wide scene from a single mount point, such as a car park entry, wide shopfront, or broad building façade. However, at the wider angle, fine detail on a subject beyond approximately 15 metres will be limited. If your primary goal is capturing recognisable facial or plate detail at distances greater than 15 metres, consider the 4 mm lens version (QNO-C8023R) for a narrower but more detailed view.
Mounting Height and AI Zone Configuration: Install the QNO-C8013R between 2.5 m and 4 m for the best balance between scene width and ground-level detail. After installation, configure the AI detection zones in the camera’s interface to align with actual traffic paths, entry points, and restricted areas. Generic full-frame detection across a busy outdoor scene will generate more events than targeted zone-based rules.

Ideal Use Cases
Car Parks and Open Forecourts
The 103-degree horizontal FOV covers multiple bays or a wide vehicle approach from a single mount. AI vehicle classification confirms activity without triggering alerts from shadows, headlights, or wind-blown debris common in exposed car park environments.
Retail Shopfronts and Entrances
Positioned above a wide entry, the QNO-C8013R captures the full doorway and adjacent footpath. The 120 dB WDR manages the contrast between a sunlit exterior and a shaded awning, keeping subjects visible regardless of time of day.
Warehouse Perimeter and Loading Bays
The IP66 weatherproof and IK10 impact-resistant housing handles harsh industrial outdoor conditions. AI intrusion and loitering detection can be configured to monitor restricted loading areas, generating alerts only when people enter defined zones after hours.
Building Perimeter Monitoring
Mounted on a wall or soffit at the corner of a building, the wide-angle lens covers a large section of a perimeter without needing to pan. Line-crossing detection alerts operators when a boundary is breached, supported by people classification to confirm the trigger.
Sites Needing Network-Independent Recording
The built-in microSD slot supporting up to 256 GB makes the QNO-C8013R appropriate for remote or temporary sites where a continuous NVR connection is not guaranteed. Footage is retained locally and can be retrieved after a network or power event is resolved.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need to cover a wide outdoor scene from a single camera position, such as a car park entry, broad shopfront, or open building perimeter, and your subjects of interest are generally within 15 metres of the camera.
- Choose a different model if: Your primary goal is identifying fine detail at distances greater than 15 metres. A 4 mm fixed lens version (QNO-C8023R) provides a narrower field of view with more concentrated detail at longer distances.
- Choose a different model if: You require active deterrence features such as a built-in siren or strobe light integrated into the housing. The QNO-C8013R is a monitoring and detection camera without active warning outputs.
FAQs
- How wide is the field of view on the QNO-C8013R and what type of scene does that suit?
The 2.8 mm lens delivers a horizontal field of view of approximately 103 degrees. This is well suited to open outdoor areas where coverage width takes priority over long-distance detail, including car parks, wide entries, forecourts, and building corners. For more focused views at greater distance, the 4 mm version covers a narrower angle.
- What AI detection types are available on this camera?
The QNO-C8013R includes people and vehicle classification, colour attribute recognition, and event-based rules including line crossing, intrusion detection, and loitering detection. These analytics operate on-board and can be configured by zone within the camera’s web interface, allowing targeted monitoring of specific areas rather than the full frame.
- Is the QNO-C8013R suitable for installation in coastal or humid outdoor environments?
Yes. The IP66 rating confirms full protection against dust ingress and water jets from any direction. For coastal or high-humidity sites, ensure all conduit and cable entry points are sealed correctly to maintain the IP66 rating. The operating temperature range of -30 degrees C to +55 degrees C also covers the conditions found across most Australian outdoor deployments.
- How does WiseStream III affect storage and bandwidth requirements?
WiseStream III is Hanwha’s dynamic bitrate compression technology that analyses the scene and reduces the bitrate in areas of low activity while preserving quality where motion or detail is detected. In practice this can reduce storage and bandwidth demand substantially compared to a fixed bitrate H.265 stream, making it useful on sites where NVR storage or network capacity is a planning constraint.
- Does this camera have a built-in microphone or speaker?
The product data confirms a built-in microphone is not listed in the QNO-C8013R specification. This camera is designed for visual monitoring. Do not assume audio capability from the presence of an audio port reference alone.
- What PoE switch or injector is required to power this camera?
The QNO-C8013R operates on IEEE 802.3af Class 3 PoE, with a typical draw of 4 W and a maximum of 8.1 W. Any standard 802.3af-compliant PoE switch or injector with sufficient per-port power budget will support this camera. Verify that your switch has adequate total PoE capacity if multiple cameras are connected. Security Wholesalers can assist with compatible switching options if required.
- Can the edge recording be used as the primary storage method without an NVR?
The 256 GB microSD slot can store footage locally and is useful as a backup or on sites without a centralised recorder. For most professional installations, NVR-based recording is recommended as the primary method, with edge storage acting as a buffer or failover. Without an NVR, remote access, centralised management, and long-term archiving across multiple cameras become more difficult to manage.
